If you have read Harvey's biography, you know that the handcrafter is the best all-around athlete among the 13 residents of the Barefoot house. This photo covers his entire athletic history. "Before" simulates a 1960s - or earlier - high school yearbook page in which Harvey is depicted playing on his high school football team (top left) and as a wrestler (bottom left). The wrestling picture shows him in the ready stance prior to a match in the North Carolina state high-school tournament. Harvey, who attended Meadow High School, would have made the quarterfinals before losing. (Meadow closed in 1969 when that school and some others consolidated into South Johnston High School, but an elementary school is on the site today.) I turned the saturation on the photos down to zero so the color pictures would be converted to black-and-white. The yellow tinge inside them comes from a file used by my instructor, Brady Poirier. The body in the wrestling photo is that of a high-schooler in Pennsylvania. The color photo on the right side of the page is him in a softball jersey, relaxing with a Louisville Slugger Z300 bat. This is prior to a game with the family's team, which plays against other such teams in the area.
This next picture is a Halloween greeting card with a specially-carved pumpkin, Brenda the clown, and Bryson the cowboy. As with earlier projects, I combined their faces with costumes sold at Party City stores and at Party City's website. The pumpkin, two bats, and backdrop were also placed on school computer files by Poirier and were originally part of a class project.
Also of note, but not shown here (since I don't know if I can even put it on a page like this) is a 52-second slide show I did for my Premiere Pro class in the afternoon. It shows all 13 members in an introductory fashion to the music of Phillip Phillips' hit song "Home."
